His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of

The chute is 3,000 feet long and 180 feet wide, with side walls that are close to 3 stories tall. The chute plunges downhill from a structure housing eight massive gates designed to control the release of water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system -- the flood control outlet, the spillway and the emergency -- are part of conventional dam design, allowing operators to manage the level of the reservoir behind Oroville Dam. What's not conventional is the scale: The dam is the tallest in the United States, rising 770 feet from the bed of the Feather River. And the reservoir behind it, Lake Oroville, is California's second largest (only Shasta Lake is bigger), with the capacity to store enough water to supply about 7 million California households for a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Feather River watershed's potential for unleashing massive amounts of runoff is also vast, and the main spillway and emergency spillway are designed, in theory, to allow passage of more than 600,000 cubic feet per second without threatening the dam's integrity (under this scenario, the concrete spillway would discharge 277,000 cfs and the emergency spillway -- again, an unpaved hillside -- would handle about 350,000 cfs).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a caveat there: \"in theory.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In practice, the highest flow the spillway has ever been called upon to handle was about 160,000 cfs, during the New Year's floods of January 1997. After that event, the structure, which had gone into service in 1968 and had already undergone extensive patching, required emergency repairs to cracked and eroded concrete and exposed rebar. A further top-to-bottom round of patching followed in 2009, followed by a less extensive job in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which brings us to early February, when a large section of the invulnerable-looking chute disintegrated under flows of roughly 50,000 cfs. Subsequent flows devastated the concrete spillway structure. Water cascading over an ungated weir at about 12,000 cfs-- a trickle relative to what the Department of Water Resources says it could handle -- caused extensive erosion in the emergency spillway. That led to fears of a weir collapse and evacuation of 180,000 people downstream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That spillway failure and crisis, in turn, spawned the current sprint to rebuild the structure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11620128\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/37366399212_5afbcee504_o-e1506891271701.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11620128\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/37366399212_5afbcee504_o-800x574.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"574\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The truck has just dumped a load of roller-compacted concrete (RCC) -- the material being used to fill the vast chasms that opened up after the main spillway breached in February.

The chute is 3,000 feet long and 180 feet wide, with side walls that are close to 3 stories tall. The chute plunges downhill from a structure housing eight massive gates designed to control the release of water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system -- the flood control outlet, the spillway and the emergency -- are part of conventional dam design, allowing operators to manage the level of the reservoir behind Oroville Dam. What's not conventional is the scale: The dam is the tallest in the United States, rising 770 feet from the bed of the Feather River. And the reservoir behind it, Lake Oroville, is California's second largest (only Shasta Lake is bigger), with the capacity to store enough water to supply about 7 million California households for a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Feather River watershed's potential for unleashing massive amounts of runoff is also vast, and the main spillway and emergency spillway are designed, in theory, to allow passage of more than 600,000 cubic feet per second without threatening the dam's integrity (under this scenario, the concrete spillway would discharge 277,000 cfs and the emergency spillway -- again, an unpaved hillside -- would handle about 350,000 cfs).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a caveat there: \"in theory.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In practice, the highest flow the spillway has ever been called upon to handle was about 160,000 cfs, during the New Year's floods of January 1997. After that event, the structure, which had gone into service in 1968 and had already undergone extensive patching, required emergency repairs to cracked and eroded concrete and exposed rebar. A further top-to-bottom round of patching followed in 2009, followed by a less extensive job in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which brings us to early February, when a large section of the invulnerable-looking chute disintegrated under flows of roughly 50,000 cfs. Subsequent flows devastated the concrete spillway structure. Water cascading over an ungated weir at about 12,000 cfs-- a trickle relative to what the Department of Water Resources says it could handle -- caused extensive erosion in the emergency spillway. That led to fears of a weir collapse and evacuation of 180,000 people downstream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That spillway failure and crisis, in turn, spawned the current sprint to rebuild the structure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11620128\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/37366399212_5afbcee504_o-e1506891271701.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11620128\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/37366399212_5afbcee504_o-800x574.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"574\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The truck has just dumped a load of roller-compacted concrete (RCC) -- the material being used to fill the vast chasms that opened up after the main spillway breached in February.

At the same time, it's taking steps that will reinforce the hillside that serves as the emergency spillway but stop well short of building a concrete channel to handle future overflows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ron Stork, senior policy advocate for Friends of the River, said building a functional concrete emergency spillway is a necessary step to prevent a repeat of February's near-disaster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noting that climate change increases the risk of \"a true catastrophe\" involving the state's water infrastructure, Stork said the Department of Water Resources \"must give us confidence that the reconstruction efforts at Oroville are well founded to ensure safe and reliable operations -- and that, of course, must include construction of a complete emergency spillway.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report also calls for a fundamental change in how dams and attached facilities are inspected and evaluated. In a recommendation that echoes one \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/09/06/oroville-panel-says-dam-officials-missed-clues-to-spillway-flaws/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">made earlier this month\u003c/a> by the independent forensic team studying the Oroville spillway failure, the coalition urges dam owners to conduct periodic comprehensive reviews of dam facilities to compare their original design and construction against current standards and for federal regulators to consider dam safety when they review dams for relicensing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Overall, we're trying to have people, and people who manage water, look at water infrastructure differently,\" said Chris Shutes, FERC projects director for the California Sportfishing Protection Alliance. \"I would compare it to what happened after the Loma Prieta earthquake. We had engineers and architects going around looking at different buildings and re-evaluating them in light of what happened in Loma Prieta.

Bea and associates concluded that \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/04/18/report-design-building-and-upkeep-flaws-led-to-oroville-spillway-failure/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the spillway was doomed\u003c/a> by flawed design, construction and maintenance and that state and federal overseers \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/07/21/oroville-dam-spillway-report-alleges-dwr-ferc-negligence/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">were negligent\u003c/a> in their response to spillway deficiencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The failure began, the independent forensic team says, as the Department of Water Resources increased flows down the spillway -- a step taken to make room in Lake Oroville for a surge of runoff from major winter storms in early February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the flow coming down the concrete chute on Feb. 7 was far below both the design capacity and some past releases, the rapidly moving water started to pull the spillway apart. The forensic team says it believes water flowing through open joints and myriad cracks and other flaws in the concrete surface created excessive pressure beneath the chute that lifted up part of one 40-by-50-foot slab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the first slab dislodged, water plunged into the gap and rapidly eroded the spillway foundation, ripping out more slabs. By the time flows were stopped -- less than three hours after the initial breach occurred -- a crater had formed that was about 200 feet long and stretched nearly all the way across the 180-foot-wide spillway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The forensic team said it was uncertain why the spillway failed in February after surviving earlier major releases. It said possibilities include recent damage or the deterioration of extensive earlier repairs; the expansion of voids under the slab that had formed due to long-term erosion; corrosion of reinforcing steel in the chute's concrete; and compromised steel anchor bars designed to help hold the concrete slabs in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The memo also catalogs a series of design and construction flaws that made the spillway vulnerable to failure. Among them, the report calls out a poorly designed drainage system installed in a way that some parts of the concrete slab were as little as 4 inches thick; insufficient steel reinforcement; failure to remove weathered rock and dirt from large sections of the spillway foundation; and an inadequate system for anchoring the slab to underlying rock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The forensic team says it's still looking at what it calls the \"human and organizational factors\" that may have contributed to the spillway failure -- an inquiry that covers everything from how the Department of Water Resources made its initial decision on where to build the spillway to how it has inspected the structure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The strongest language in the memo is in a final \"lessons to be learned\" section, where the forensic experts call on dam owners to perform periodic reviews of the original design and construction of their facilities and compare them to \"current state of the practice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The (independent forensic team) has not seen any indication that such a review for the service spillway chute at Oroville Dam has ever been conducted since original construction,\" the memo said, \"Such a review would likely have 'connected the dots'\" and helped past safety reviews identify the factors that led to the spillway failure, the document says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement released after the memo was released, DWR spokeswoman Erin Mellon said the department \"agrees ... that dam owners need to reassess current procedures.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pointing to DWR's directive earlier this year for immediate reviews of the safety of nearly 100 dams statewide, Mellon said the department is determined to apply

The forensic team says it believes water flowing through open joints and myriad cracks and other flaws in the concrete surface created excessive pressure beneath the chute that lifted up part of one 40-by-50-foot slab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the first slab dislodged, water plunged into the gap and rapidly eroded the spillway foundation, ripping out more slabs. By the time flows were stopped -- less than three hours after the initial breach occurred -- a crater had formed that was about 200 feet long and stretched nearly all the way across the 180-foot-wide spillway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The forensic team said it was uncertain why the spillway failed in February after surviving earlier major releases. It said possibilities include recent damage or the deterioration of extensive earlier repairs; the expansion of voids under the slab that had formed due to long-term erosion; corrosion of reinforcing steel in the chute's concrete; and compromised steel anchor bars designed to help hold the concrete slabs in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The memo also catalogs a series of design and construction flaws that made the spillway vulnerable to failure. Among them, the report calls out a poorly designed drainage system installed in a way that some parts of the concrete slab were as little as 4 inches thick; insufficient steel reinforcement; failure to remove weathered rock and dirt from large sections of the spillway foundation; and an inadequate system for anchoring the slab to underlying rock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The forensic team says it's still looking at what it calls the \"human and organizational factors\" that may have contributed to the spillway failure -- an inquiry that covers everything from how the Department of Water Resources made its initial decision on where to build the spillway to how it has inspected the structure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The strongest language in the memo is in a final \"lessons to be learned\" section, where the forensic experts call on dam owners to perform periodic reviews of the original design and construction of their facilities and compare them to \"current state of the practice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The (independent forensic team) has not seen any indication that such a review for the service spillway chute at Oroville Dam has ever been conducted since original construction,\" the memo said, \"Such a review would likely have 'connected the dots'\" and helped past safety reviews identify the factors that led to the spillway failure, the document says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement released after the memo was released, DWR spokeswoman Erin Mellon said the department \"agrees ... that dam owners need to reassess current procedures.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pointing to DWR's directive earlier this year for immediate reviews of the safety of nearly 100 dams statewide, Mellon said the department is determined to apply lessons learned from the Oroville crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The additional spillway evaluations already underway are the start of that process,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story includes reporting from The Associated Press.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11615626/oroville-panel-says-dam-officials-missed-clues-to-spillway-flaws","authors":["222"],"programs":["news_6944","news_72"],"categories":["news_19906","news_8","news_356"],"tags":["news_5428","news_19542","news_20536","news_17286","news_17041"],"featImg":"news_11347674","label":"news_72"},"news_11608745":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11608745","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11608745","score":null,"sort":[1502294494000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"oroville-dam-spillway-ferc-safety-review-2014-ruled-out-spillway-failure","title":"Panel Weighed Oroville Spillway Failure in 2014 -- and Called It 'Highly Unlikely'","publishDate":1502294494,"format":"image","headTitle":"The California Report | KQED News","labelTerm":{"term":72,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>\u003cem>Editor's note: This story has been \u003ca href=\"#updated\">updated\u003c/a>. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]C[/dropcap]onsider a couple of scenarios for big trouble at Oroville Dam:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First: The facility's main concrete spillway suffers serious damage, resulting in erosion of the rock beneath it -- and potentially threatening the safety of the dam itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second: Water fills Lake Oroville, the gigantic reservoir behind the dam, and begins surging down a steep unpaved hillside that's meant to serve as an emergency spillway.

Dam managers responded by ramping up releases down the spillway to about 50,000 cubic feet per second, less than 20 percent of its design capacity and about one-third of its record flow rate in January 1997.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a large hole appeared in the spillway on Feb. 7, DWR temporarily stopped releasing water down the chute, then resumed limited flows as large sections of the rock beneath the concrete structure rapidly eroded -- contrary to the confident assertions that the material was \"very competent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meantime, the lake rose toward its rim. On Feb. 11, for the first time in the dam's history, water began pouring over a 1,700-foot-long weir adjacent to the concrete chute and down the hill designated as the dam's emergency spillway. Less than 30 hours later, on the afternoon of Feb. 12, uphill erosion of the type dismissed by the 2014 PFMA had scoured channels as much as 50 feet deep and appeared to be threatening the stability of the weir. The fear of a collapse, which would unleash a catastrophic flood down the Feather River, prompted the emergency evacuation of Oroville and other riverside communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That uncontrolled flow in February peaked at about 12,500 cubic feet per second, just a tiny fraction of the 350,000 cubic feet -- about 2.6 million gallons -- per second it was supposed to handle.

Dam managers responded by ramping up releases down the spillway to about 50,000 cubic feet per second, less than 20 percent of its design capacity and about one-third of its record flow rate in January 1997.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a large hole appeared in the spillway on Feb. 7, DWR temporarily stopped releasing water down the chute, then resumed limited flows as large sections of the rock beneath the concrete structure rapidly eroded -- contrary to the confident assertions that the material was \"very competent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meantime, the lake rose toward its rim. On Feb. 11, for the first time in the dam's history, water began pouring over a 1,700-foot-long weir adjacent to the concrete chute and down the hill designated as the dam's emergency spillway. Less than 30 hours later, on the afternoon of Feb. 12, uphill erosion of the type dismissed by the 2014 PFMA had scoured channels as much as 50 feet deep and appeared to be threatening the stability of the weir. The fear of a collapse, which would unleash a catastrophic flood down the Feather River, prompted the emergency evacuation of Oroville and other riverside communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That uncontrolled flow in February peaked at about 12,500 cubic feet per second, just a tiny fraction of the 350,000 cubic feet -- about 2.6 million gallons -- per second it was supposed to handle.

In the meantime, we welcome additional analyses and studies and will ensure this report is shared with the forensic team.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FERC did not respond immediately to a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bea's second report, delivered in \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3898955-Bea-May-11-Testimony-Report-Rev-1-1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">testimony\u003c/a> to the Legislature in May, included a series of recommendations to overhaul the DWR's project management, inspection and maintenance practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All three reports were produced under the auspices of UC Berkeley's \u003ca href=\"http://ccrm.berkeley.edu/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Center for Catastrophic Risk Management\u003c/a>. Each of the studies has included analyses performed by a wide array of independent researchers -- some of whom first posted their findings and speculations in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/*/index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Free Republic\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.metabunk.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Metabunk\u003c/a> online communities -- and reviewed by Bea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report released Thursday also delves into ongoing maintenance issues at the dam, citing years of DWR inspection reports that have documented possible problems with the massive concrete structure that supports the spillway gates and with an area of persistent moisture -- which has come to be known in official documents as \"the green spot\" -- on the downstream face of the dam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study suggests those issues put the entire dam complex at risk of failure. The Department of Water Resources has not commented on the spillway gate issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DWR has said -- for instance, in a page of \u003ca href=\"http://www.water.ca.gov/oroville-spillway/faqs.cfm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">frequently asked questions\u003c/a> -- that the dam is sound and has never been at risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department has also attributed green areas on the dam to rainfall and noted green areas first appeared on the structure before the reservoir behind it, Lake Oroville, filled in 1968.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, DWR spokeswoman Mellon said the department is \"working on a preliminary report explaining the green spot. ... There has also been an on-going evaluation and there will be a subsequent final report on this longstanding issue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency is in the midst of a crash construction program to replace parts of the shattered spillway before autumn rains begin. Omaha-based Kiewit Infrastructure West is working to replace the lower part of the structure this year, then demolish and replace the upper section in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The work this year also involves installing a 1,700-foot-long wall to protect the dam's emergency weir. Severe erosion occurred when water began flowing over that structure in February, threatening to undermine it and release a catastrophic torrent of water downstream.
